When Pigs Fly

About ten years ago my wife gave me a "how to" book on salvaged garden art. There was a photo of a few pigs made from salvaged metal and an empty freon bottle. I had all of the tools and materials at my regular job so I made my version of a flying pig. Everyone that saw the pig said that I should make them to sell. So I ask for a welder and some other tools for Christmas and I started welding salvaged metal objects into art and selling it a craft shows. I now sell my wares at fine art shows around the midwest during the summer show season, and I plan to make my art full time when I do retire. More of my art can be seen at:
